John Doe's diary

Following is a page from a diary of a 21-year-old geek guy named John Doe that I am sharing with you said Miss Lou.
Miss Lou: "Amy will you please pass the hands out to the whole class."

I turn over the page. It reads out as so:

"Infinite loop. It’s not a very uncommon word in my field. Today I want to dedicate my post to explain what is infinite loop and how I relate to it. Infinite loop means going around and round the same iteration in a never-ending circle. 
"I hate my life. Yet I realize life is precious. It’s amazing. It’s wonderful and we should be thankful. I love my life. Yet I hate my life."
Above is an illustration of an infinite loop.
I am doing things I don't want to do. I am bound to things I don't want to be bound to. I feel responsible yet it's not how I imagine being responsible. And I fucking hate my life. I feel so suffocated. I feel so trapped. I don't even have my wings coz it’s been chopped off. I am going to snap, I keep snapping. I want peace. I want to write about happy things. I don't want each of my post to be about how miserable I feel about my life. I don't want to vent on my dear blog. It’s so dear to me. It came to me when I was in such an imbalance.  
Religion is for guidance, or at least it should be.  Praying is for peace, or at least it should be.
You don't force religion or culture onto someone. 
I don't want to be forced to do things. More than that I don't want to be made feel guilty over not doing as said. I don't want someone to control me, to tell me what I should do, how I should do, what I shouldn't miss.
The constant: "you are selfish, you are a disgrace, you are a bitch, you are a slut, you disappointed me, I don't want to live, I had hopes over you but you are as selfish as your father and I have no one in this world now. " etc everyday dose of this is what I don't want.
I have to take meds every morning which I often forget but never am I skeptical on not getting my daily dose of torture. I know this is bad thing that I am writing. I understand a lot. But it’s so hard to maintain peace in your heart with all this, is it not?? It’s killing me in the inside. It's draining me. I am sick of venting, I am sick of complaining. I am sick of being a person who bitches. Moreover, I am sick of me right now. I want to love me.  But I don't. I want to love me and everyone but I can't. Someone comes and says they love me and I feel nothing. I don't even believe in its existence. I don't believe in anything positive. I am dying. Not physically. I am dying mentally. Sometimes I wish my disease was something else, so critical of me missing my medicine dose that I fall sicker. 
I feel my friends only call me when they need me. Someone needs a recommendation in their LinkedIn which they don't return. Someone needs my books, someone needs me to get them their experience letter, someone needs me to listen. It's good. It's s good to be there for your friends and family. It feels good to make them feel good but who is there for me? At least none of the above. "

Right then the bell rings. Class is over. Miss Lou says she will discuss more on this later and our assignment is to analyse every word on this diary. I think I'll just copy paste my answers with minor changes of word selection.

Days of life

Lifeless am i? Laying down On my bed I cant move I can see I cant hear Thoughts have conjested A cup of tea i ask Nd a bed to sleep And let me live in peace 12 inch washing tub Placed in my bedroom  I have shame but had no washroom So let me live in peace So the other day i text ya know? My bunch of people I tell em am tensed got some problem at work Ya know they were tensed equally? Alas not a lil trace of it for me , shoot. Why are you scared? Did you do something wrong? Am only human, too much on my mind, you only add to my pain Oh my mother don't know But she has nothing to worry about She asks me to help her But i cant move a feet She is tired of physical pain I am tired of my thoughts At nights i awoke, there was a fight i had to win Asked for help And now the enemy is butchering me My body lies in my bed Lifeless I cant move a feet I can only see My heart is so heavy Weaving thoughts and we

My Lucid Dream

I want to spread my arms As wide as i can Close my  eyes  Shut everything off And let myself go Fall so deep And as i fall I want to fly  As high as i can go Live my dream Feel the excitement of flying No more as a dream No more so real yet so dreamy feel The clear blue sky above me And oh so far the land is I rest then upon the green grass ground See the beautiful white clouds Like a hot air balloon In the sky I see the beautiful mountains Oh so beautiful they are As i am flying  Only my eyes and memories have them captured My eyes open I am in my bed But i cant let go of my dream So i wana spread my arms As wide as i can Shut my eyes off And let myself go Fall deep  Fall so deep  And as i almost touch the ground I will find my wings....

A strange friendship

Lately I haven't been a morning person. Well who am i kidding i have never been a morning person. Anyways, today i had to visit a temple nearby because my mom wanted me to. So in my own time i went there. I organized my puja thali. And when i was doing so I noticed a little girl who was looking at what i was doing fascinatingly. There was this goat as well who was also fascinated by some flowers and a raddish i had in my thali.  I started doing my puja, fully aware the goat was eyeing my puja thali.  In our culture we first offer puja to lord ganesh. Only then we offer puja to other gods. After doing the same, offering my puja to lord ganesh,i went inside the main temple of Bhairav. She tagged along and later i realized so did the goat.  The goat was disturbing  in a cute way. And the lil girl forcefully offered her help by holiding my thali for me. While i was kneeling down and doing my worship, she was making offerings from the thali herself.  And our bond started. The tem
